A sustainability analyst reports on the following metrics for a global healthcare company:
GHG emissions reductions -
Number of lives saved through pharmaceutical products
To conform with the triple bottom line concept, what additional indicator should the analyst include?
To conform with the triple bottom line concept, which includes social, environmental, and financial performance, the analyst should include a financial indicator. While GHG emissions reductions cover the environmental aspect and the number of lives saved through pharmaceutical products covers the social aspect, annual revenue performance provides the necessary financial metric. Therefore, annual revenue performance is the most appropriate additional indicator.
Triple-bottom implies environmental, social and FINANCIAL performance
They already have a social bottom line element, and an environmental bottom line metric. They need the traditional financial bottom line
Correct Answer C: The “triple bottom line” was developed, placing environmental and social impact “bottom lines” on co-equal status with the traditional financial bottom line in a company’s financial performance.
